Sunday Downtime - All Evolve Media Sites are being migrated to a new data center Sunday Dec 11, 2016. The migration will occur during an 8 AM to 2 PM (Pacific Time) maintenance window. We will have up to 1 hour of downtime for any of our sites.

I'm so late on this -- but is anyone else obsessed with this show?! O-M-G...I just finished the DVDs and it's so, so good! I was just mad that evil Thomas and his hag O'Brien didn't get what was coming to them in the end. I guess there's always next season.

I think my favorite character is Mary - I like that she is full of grays and not the stereotypical snob, she's got a heart and the actress who plays her is so appealing.

It comes out in September/October actually. It launches alongside X Factor here in the UK, and follows it on a Sunday night.

For anyone watching it outside of the UK I really do urge you to try and download/buy the UK version, as there was approximately an hour and a half edited out for the US airing of the series. Apparently the story line to do with Lady Mary's not being able to inherit has been completely removed for US audiences? Odd. Not sure which other territories got the edited version also.

Love this show... I'm still making my way through the season. And I'm slightly annoyed that they have made differences between the UK and US showing of the show. What purpose does that serve? Looking forward to seeing more of this show when it airs again, anyone know when the second season will air in the states?

A photo from August 2011 issue of British Vogue with the actresses who play the Crawley sisters. I think they look so lovely here.
